are there anyway to use paw without setting proxy to browser?
I wanna use port 80 as localhost.. something like middle layer
between browser and paw server...?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
PAW acts as a HTTP proxy server. So you should be able to use it with any application that can be configured to use a HTTP proxy server. This does not necessarily has to be a web browser.
What exactly are you trying to do?

I wanna use your project in my project.
But my customers cannot change their web browser settings
either i cannot ask them to change.. so i need to use default port 80...
i.e. users will not change their proxy settings ( no proxy ) but paw
will still filter the content before browser rendering the page...
how can i do that ? should i change source ?
internet -------> data -port 80 coming to PC -------> PAW -------> Browser
I want something like that...
is it possible ?

if I under stand it correctly, what you need is a transparent proxy server on a central router which then redirects packets from port 80 to different port, where an transparent proxy is running.
I have never written a transparent proxy handler for PAW, but I think it could be done.
Depending on what you want the transparent proxy server Squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/) might be an option.
As mentioned above it should also be possible to use PAW if you write a handler for handling transparent proxy requests, but at the moment it does not exist.

if you handle the port translation and send me a specification (via mail) about how the request looks and how the response should look like, I will have a look.
But I can not promise anything.

I know squid. but i do not want proxy. I can add/implement in proxy to PAW..
All i want my customers do not use 8080 but 80
I cannot make them change the port. so before the web render the page i want to make the filter
is it possible something like that with current api?
data coming from 80 -----> 8080 paw server sniff the port and redirect to 80 ...
I want to use port 80.. that is all...
Thanks for the help so far...
server and browser will be in the same machine... that is why i insist on port 80..
what about nat ? ( network address translation? )
localhost:80 is good but not solving my problem..
I do not want my customers to deal with browser's proxy settings..
and i wanna filter using paw :)
i need a way before implementing new feature :)
could you send me your email?
I can send your specs...
Thanks for help so far..
Hi Vampie,
changing the listening port of PAW to 80 is not a problem.
Just change the port in the file conf/server.xml und restart the PAW server.
But it will not work without setting the browser proxy configuration to localhost:80.

Jochen,
do you have any plan to implement the feature that I need?

Hi,
i'm interested to write a "Transparent Proxy" handler.
Somebody give me help to do this?
Thank's.
